Indeed it does.

Don't trust resizing to Photobucket it will amost certainly choose the fastest method, rather than one which will attempt to give the best result.

Resize in Photoshop before uploading, and before doing so sharpen the image.
 
OK but did you send them to Photobucket at that res. or biggerer?
 
right this is sized width 800 px and edges sharpened.................

Did you shoot that at 1.2, and if so from what distance ?
 
exif says 1/60 sec @ f1.2 Aperture priority +0.33 exp comp.

Why the exp comp?

Thanks for your posts on the clipping Cedric. Very interesting. I've got another question, which addresses the apparent fact that this effect does not appear in all images at f/1.2. I also note your other comments about how focusing distance and other things impact on this, but I wonder how this lens works on a 5DMk2?

Clearly, the original 5D is similarly affected (as used for the tests in your link) to your 50D but I recall one user saying (on another site) that his 50 1.2 was poor at focus shift on a 1Ds, but this disappeared on a 5DMk2. I'm not sure what's going on there, but maybe if Canon has fixed the focus shift in firmware (ie it knows the focusing distance and aperture and refocuses before exposure) then maybe they have addressed the mirror box issue? Not a format thing of course, but one of camera design.

Apologies, but these things intrigue me. And if I'm honest, despite my earlier remarks, I don't think these things detract from such an amazing lens. It's just got a bit of character ;)

No need to apoligise mate, but unfortunately I can't really answer your question. At some stage I want to get around to using it on the EOS 3 which should be interesting though.

Canon Bob has a 5DMK2 though and the lens I'm pretty sure, so he's your man to ask.
